NAME
Net::Flickr::API - base API class for Net::Flickr::* libraries
SYNOPSIS
package Net::Flickr::RDF;
use base qw (Net::Flickr::API);
DESCRIPTION
Base API class for Net::Flickr::* libraries
Net::Flickr::API is a wrapper for Flickr::API that provides support for
throttling API calls (per second), retries if the API is disabled and
marshalling of API responses into XML::LibXML or XML::XPath objects.
OPTIONS
Options are passed to Net::Flickr::Backup using a Config::Simple object
or a valid Config::Simple config file. Options are grouped by "block".
flick
* api_key
String. *required*
A valid Flickr API key.
* api_secret
String. *required*
A valid Flickr Auth API secret key.
* auth_token
String. *required*
A valid Flickr Auth API token.
* api_handler
String. *required*
The api_handler defines which XML/XPath handler to use to process
API responses.
* LibXML
Use XML::LibXML.
* XPath
Use XML::XPath.
reporting
* enabled
Boolean.
Default is false.
* handler
String.
The default handler is Screen, as in `Log::Dispatch::Screen'
* handler_args
For example, the following :
reporting_handler_args=name:foobar;min_level=info
Would be converted as :
(name => "foobar",
min_level => "info");
The default name argument is "__report". The default min_level
argument is "info".
PACKAGE METHODS
__PACKAGE__->new($cfg)
Where $cfg is either a valid *Config::Simple* object or the path to a
file that can be parsed by *Config::Simple*.
Returns a *Net::Flickr::API* object.
OBJECT METHODS
$obj->api_call(\%args)
Valid args are :
* method
A string containing the name of the Flickr API method you are
calling.
* args
A hash ref containing the key value pairs you are passing to
*method*
If the method encounters any errors calling the API, receives an API
error or can not parse the response it will log an error event, via the
log method, and return undef.
Otherwise it will return a *XML::LibXML::Document* object (if
XML::LibXML is installed) or a *XML::XPath* object.
$obj->get_auth()
Return an XML *node* element containing the Flickr auth token
information for the current object.
Returns undef if no token information is present.
$obj->get_auth_nsid()
Return the Flickr NSID of the user associated with the Flickr auth token
information for the current object.
Returns undef if no token information is present.
$obj->upload(\%args)
This is a helper method that simply wraps calls to the *Flickr::Upload*
upload method. All the arguments are the same. For complete
documentation please consult:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Flickr-Upload/Upload.pm#upload
(Note: There's no need to pass an auth_token argument as the wrapper
will take care of for you.)
Returns a photo ID (or a ticket ID if the call is asynchronous) on
success or false if there was a problem.
$obj->log()
Returns a *Log::Dispatch* object.
